—Incredible Hulk Vol 2 27

You're making me angry......and there's not much room in this air-craft... Put away the popgun, sonny...before it's too late...

—Hulk/Wolverine: Six Hours Vol 1 1

Tell Banner this: Hulk will destroy him!

—Hulk: Nightmerica Vol 1 1

It wouldn't even matter if I did. I don't get to make those kinds of declarations any more. I can't be tempted to. I'd just be giving the monster something new to wreck.

—Hulk: Nightmerica Vol 1 2

No, I think it will wait for me. This is what it's like to be on that drug Duke was peddling, isn't it, Stu? But stranger, more intense...

—Hulk: Nightmerica Vol 1 3

Hulk not stupid! He remember girl! Girl just using Hulk! So... Hulk will... crush girl!

You just pushed past the envelope, carter face! To quote an old "pal" of mine......it's clobberin' time!

—Hulk & Thing: Hard Knocks Vol 1 1

Wonder what other weirdness this stupid island's got?

I know exactly what I am. And if you have any brains at all, you'll shut the hell up and let me walk away... before I kill your whole stupid planet.

—Incredible Hulk Vol 2 97

You tried to kill us with swords and spears. You tried to kill us with bombs. You tried to kill us with your stupid Spikes. But that just made us mad. So get ready, Red King. Now we're coming for you.

—Incredible Hulk Vol 2 103

The people said I was the Sakaarson. Come to save them and unite them. But I was the World Breaker all along. I just didn't know you were too. Stupid humans, with your stupid shuttle. Can't you do anything right? I wanna die. I wanna burn into nothing. But with your bomb, you just made me stronger. The strongest one there is. The only one there is. Give-- them-- back! Give! Them! BACK! Give her back.

—Incredible Hulk Vol 2 105

I didn't come here for a whisper. I wanna hear you scream.

—World War Hulk Vol 1 1

So I'm asking you a question. If you'd been there, when they were debating whether to RUIN MY LIFE...how would you have voted?

—World War Hulk: X-Men Vol 1 1

Her name was Caiera. And I hear her voice all the time

—World War Hulk Vol 1 3

You consider this YOUR fault, Xavier. And my guess is, you should. You're already living in Hell.

—World War Hulk: X-Men Vol 1 3

Remember this, puny humans. We came here for justice, not murder. So no one on your planet has died by our hands. And no one will. But we'll make sure no one on Earth will ever forget what you are. Liars. Traitors. And killers.

—World War Hulk Vol 1 5

Please... Don't let this happen... Please ... Give me a shred of happiness...

—Hulk Visionaries: Peter David Vol 1 5

Red Hulk thinks Hulk is stupid. Red Hulk hurts everybody. Red Hulk likes to kill. Red Hulk is bad Hulk. GREEN HULK STOPS RED HULK HERE! There is only one HULK. And he is GREEN!

—Hulk Vol 2 6

This is your brains. This is my fist. This will be your brains on my fist.

—Hulk Visionaries: Peter David Vol 1 6

Why do you hate me so much? You sound like the Hulk in the past. Blaming Banner for keeping him 'locked away.' Is that who you are? Some other aspect of my personality? Like the Grey Hulk? Or is it worse than that? ARE YOU THE HULK'S HULK?!

—Hulk Vol 2 11

'Live my life.' It's been so long, I don't even know who Bruce Banner is anymore. All I know is...I am not the Hulk.

—Hulk Vol 2 13

You shot the Hulk into space. Exiled him to the other side of the universe. And within a year he was back here in gladiator armor smashing you all to pieces. If Tony were around, he'd tell you. The Hulk will return.

—Incredible Hulk Vol 1 601

That's what you get for bringing knives to a Hulk fight, Wolverine.

—Incredible Hulk Vol 1 603

Very soon, Skaar is going to kick you. When you regain consciousness, you'll be in the next state over -- and you'll have forgotten both how and where you found us. Is that understood?

—Wolverine: Origins Vol 1 41

All right. Get ready, kid...the world wants to meet the new Hulk. Let's hope he's finally ready for the old one.

—Incredible Hulk Vol 1 605

Look at them all... walking around with their heads hung. Ashamed to even look at each other. Disgusting.

—Hulk Visionaries: Peter David Vol 1 7

Hulk don't know why Hairy Lady hit Hulk with lightning... ...but Hulk don't like!!!

—Hulk: Let the Battle Begin Vol 1 1

You already know. Lies. I've deceived all of you. Used all of you. My best friends...the heroes I most admire in the world...and my only son. Because if any of you knew all the different angles I'm playing...you'd never trust me again. But I've wrapped my brain around this a billion times...and this is the only way...the only possible chance I have to save the world...and my wife.

—Incredible Hulk Vol 1 608

You've had it for a long time. Since the day we met. ... That moment that changed everything for both of us. The day the Hulk was born. You never stopped hating yourself for that, Rick. Even though you were just a kid who couldn't have known. ... The guilt is why you won't let yourself turn back into Rick Jones. But Rick -- even if I don't live through this, you've got to know. It's not your fault. I forgive you... It's not. Your. Fault.

—Fall of the Hulks: Red Hulk Vol 1 3

Think I expected anything different? We're all Hulks, now. You knew something was gonna get broken.

—Incredible Hulks Vol 1 612

You want me to get into a shuttle. So you can shoot me into space.

—Incredible Hulks Vol 1 613

No. If you go up there, he'll kill you. Or you'd be forced to kill him. And then I'd kill you. You're staying right here with the rest of the little people, Rogers.

—Incredible Hulks Vol 1 614

That's when I realized what Jen brings to the table. What makes her an essential part of this family. She may be able to get by...even thrive in modern society. And she may be a clown, and a general pain in the butt. But when it comes down to it, Jen is a lawyer, a good lawyer. She looks for every angle, every truth, half-truth and lie before she makes a decision. While every other Hulk reacts first and thinks later, using blind anger as a guide... It's Jen who sees that not everything is black and white.

—Incredible Hulks Vol 1 616

I tend to see transformations in terms of anger, but what drives Rick is guilt. He can't convice himself that isn't responsible for the Hulk. Even though I made the bomb. It's all on me. Now he runs towards every big threat, always recreating that day, solving it over and over. Is that healthy? I don't know that I'm qualified to say. I'm a physicist. All I know is he's going to do it whether I want him to or not...and it makes him happy. There's got to be room for a happy Hulk somewhere, right?

—Incredible Hulks Vol 1 618

You and Amadeus defeated the Chaos King. Repaired the universe. Saved the lives of billions of mortals. And restored Olympus. ... But you forgot about the Hulks. ... Rick's horribly injured, he needs to be healed. Betty's insane, in her Red She-Hulk form, she's crazier than the Hulk. She needs to be cured. And Korg...and Skaar...just need to find a place where they can belong. I've tried, and I'll keep trying, using science or muscle or whatever I can. But I'm...I'm so tired. And you're...you're just brimming over with all this ridiculous magic. Fix it. Fix us.

—Incredible Hulks Vol 1 621

Sorry for butting in...but when I get angry...I just can't control myself.

—Incredible Hulks Vol 1 626

The name's Banner. Bruce Banner.

—Incredible Hulks Vol 1 627

Ah, that's right, I forgot. You're not the monster anymore, are you? I am.

—Incredible Hulk Vol 3 4

Banner smash!

—Incredible Hulk Vol 3 6

You hate being alone... well don't worry, old friend. You'll never be alone again

—Incredible Hulk Vol 3 7.1

Punisher! Shoot me in the face! You gotta keep me angry! You wouldn't like me when I'm not angry!

—Incredible Hulk Vol 3 8

Hippy peanut butter. Have to be mixed.

—Avengers Assemble Vol 2 9

Instant karma-balancing. Hulk smashes. Banner builds.

—Indestructible Hulk Vol 1 2

Hulk... Hulk... WORTHY!

—Indestructible Hulk Vol 1 6

Something is coming your way-- something big.

—Avengers Vol 5 15

Though it was nice to have a conversation with my LAWYER that I knew for a change wouldn't be MONITORED. The deal is THIS: S.H.I.E.L.D. provides me LAB RESOURCES, and they can use the HULK. But Daredevil--a.k.a. lawyer MATT MURDOCK--is my FAILSAFE. I have him on retainer because I've given him a SECRET DEPOSIT that's my INSURANCE. Hill knows that if S.H.I.E.L.D. CROSSES me Matt Murdock makes it PUBLIC--and turns this entire country UPSIDE DOWN in a cataclysm that will bring that U.S. goverment to its KNEES. So why do I have this feeling... that my day in court is coming SOON...?

—Indestructible Hulk Vol 1 10

Ha! Sword beats stupid ray!

—Indestructible Hulk Vol 1 13

Due respect, agent, but none of your behavioral scientists are ever going to understand the Hulk better than me. And the Hulk loves puppies.

—Indestructible Hulk Special Vol 1 1

They all try to tell me that Betty was on site all along. When I explain that Zarrko's meddling in time temporarily ERASED her, they make clucking noises and act like I'm crazy. I'm not. Maybe because I was at the CENTER of that whole chronal maelstrom, I remember the events of the last few days in a way no one ELSE seems to. As far as DIRECTOR HILL is concerned, time's been RIGHTED. Restored to its PROPER FLOW. All the missing, time-displaced souls we set out to RESCUE are safe and SOUND. And me? I'm okay. The reigning theory is that when Hulk broke the time barrier on his own, the shock waves rewrote all the fast-building contradictions and paradoxes in his--MY--history. Everything's just as it WAS. Except it ISN'T. There's a dangling thread left hanging. I can feel it. It's like an ITCH in my BRAIN. Something about my past...some tiny detail... has CHANGED. But I can't zero IN on it. All I can do is pray that it wasn't especially SIGNIFICANT.

—Indestructible Hulk Vol 1 15

This probably wasn't my smartest idea. I-I've doomed everyone in here.

—Marvel Knights: Hulk Vol 1 1

Banner. I know what we are. I know what lies within us. I know what we once were. I know what we must become. Evolve Hulk or will die!

—Marvel Knights: Hulk Vol 1 2

Poor Jessup was gone. In his place, a monster. I could feel for him.

—Indestructible Hulk Vol 1 18.INH

Time and again, I see it play out BEFORE me. Someone-- --not ALWAYS me-- --loses his or her TEMPER in a split-second of FURY-- and makes the WRONG ENEMY.

—Indestructible Hulk Vol 1 19.INH

That's the thing, what no one ever understands. It's never been me, it's never about control. It's simpler. Hulk is the strongest one there is.

—Marvel Knights: Hulk Vol 1 4

I'm proud to say I've put S.H.I.E.L.D. resources to good use for the world. Which is surprising, as I managed to improve myself not at all. I keep swearing it's all about "Hulk destroys, Banner builds," but... But this last episode... Jessup becomes a monster because he broke quarantine to look for me because the Hulk escaped... Because the Avengers tried to disable my bomb because I built it hastily... Because I needed the credit. All those years on the run, I didn't grow up much. But I know I can do better than that. I will do better. From here on out, I leave the jealousy and the bitterness all behind me. Starting now.

—Indestructible Hulk Vol 1 20

You did it, didn't you? You arrogant, elitist son of a bitch. I told all of you never to do it again... But you did it anyway. You re-formed the Illuminati, didn't you?

—Avengers Vol 5 28

No. Hulk... Koff ...Hulk never give up. Never surrender.

—Hulk Vol 3 3

Tony Stark. My "friend." You sabotaged the Gamma Bomb, Tony. You made me into the Hulk!

—Original Sin Vol 1 3.1

⚞sigh⚟ Damn it, Rick, you were supposed to be the easy one... ⚞sigh⚟ Guess it's time to smash.

—Hulk Vol 3 5

You gave up on humanity-- The one thing you can never do!

—Hulk Annual Vol 1 1

Ah, Tyrannosaurus Rex, the perennial Savage Land welcoming committee

—Hulk Vol 3 7

STRRAAANNGE!

—Savage Hulk Vol 2 6

I close my eyes and sleep. I dream for the first time since my Extremis rebirth. My mind reboots in R.E.M. sleep. In this dream I play the part that man has written for me. I am the Hulk. The strongest one there is. I get the last word in an old, long-runing argument... I say goodbye to some friends. Now there's nobody to tell me what to do. In my dreams, I am truly free.

—Hulk Vol 3 9

My name is Bruce Banner, and I've been locked away by the Hulk. He's used every trick to hide me away. He had a smart teacher. But now, finally, I am free... Just in time to die.

—Hulk Vol 3 14

Want to know why I'm going to win, Ross? Because... I am the alpha! I am the omega! I am the strongest one there is! I am the Hulk!

—Hulk Vol 3 15

...what have you done?

—Totally Awesome Hulk Vol 1 4

I've been "cured" before. And the Hulk always found a way back. I have to keep focus. Stay in control. Slow my breathing. Lower my heart rate. Push down these boiling emotions... because no matter what those machines say, I can still feel him, just under the skin... or can I?

—Totally Awesome Hulk Vol 1 7

When I was four, I saw my father kill my mother. And years later, I killed him. I didn't mean to. But I did it. I've got that kind of anger inside. That kind of capacity. But you... you have your own problems. And your Hulk's gonna have his own problems as a result. And you may not love everything you learn about yourself. But you're not a... you're not a monster. You're not me, Amadeus. You're not me.

—Totally Awesome Hulk Vol 1 8

Okay... I'm a nuclear physicist, not a psychiatrist... but the way I see it, my sin has always been anger. That's how I react to trauma and isolation. But you're built a little differently. When bad things happen to you... you get angry or sad like everyone else... but for better or for worse, you draw your strength from something else altogether... pride.

—Totally Awesome Hulk Vol 1 12

I thought... I thought you might actually have the secret. Might be able to show me a way out. But no. You've got a good heart. You just wanted to save everyone... including the sea beast. I know the feeling. But the Hulk's right. You let that thing inside you take the wheel... and you could kill your whole damn world.

—Generations: Banner Hulk & The Totally Awesome Hulk Vol 1 1

Fine. Fine. You want my name? My name... is Robert Bruce Banner. Don't make me angry.

—Immortal Hulk Vol 1 2

Hnh. Not sorry enough. You wanted science. You wanted a set of rules. From me. Big mistake. See... science is the other guy. And when you mess with him... I take it personal.

—Immortal Hulk Vol 1 8

Get out here! Get out of my head and fight!

—Immortal Hulk Vol 1 9

Welcome to Hell.

—Immortal Hulk Vol 1 10

And now... knock, knock. Hnh. Who's there?

—Immortal Hulk: The Best Defense Vol 1 1

I know you locked me away for years. I know I scare you. What I do. What I am. But before any of the others... I was there. Protecting you. I'll always protect you. ... 'cause I love you, you stupid kid. Somebody had to. Come on home.

—Immortal Hulk Vol 1 13

So, McGee. What the Hell are you doing here?

—Immortal Hulk Vol 1 20

Knock knock.

—Immortal Hulk Vol 1 22

Three votes to one. Two abstentions, if we're counting dormant alters. It's settled. You're with us now, Venom. Welcome to the family.

—Absolute Carnage: Immortal Hulk Vol 1 1

Hmh. So it's a trap.

—Immortal Hulk Vol 1 29

Banner is my family. I'd do anything for him. But I can't be with him. I'm glad you were. You're a good man, Peter Parker. I'll try to remember that next time we meet.

—Immortal Hulk: Great Power Vol 1 1

What the Hell is a Hulk?

—Immortal Hulk Vol 1 31

Hulk hurt always! Always and always! Hulk always hurts Hulk's friends--

—Immortal Hulk Vol 1 36

You hurt Banner, Sterns. And when you hurt Banner... I take that real personal.

—Immortal Hulk Vol 1 38

Something's eating me. I think... ...I think it killed the Hulk.

—Immortal Hulk Vol 1 39

You know who you're messin' with? I'm the Hulk, you hear me? The Hulk! The worst Hulk of 'em all! I'm sunshine Joe Fixit--
The Incredible Hulk!

—Immortal Hulk Vol 1 45

If you can hear this message, then I am already gone. I am broadcasting this not to explain myself... but as a warning. I'm leaving. Not because I hate you. Not because I'm scared of you. I'm leaving because none of you will know how to deal with what I'm going to become. You all have your little plans. Your armored suits, your rocket ships-- All of your clever ideas on how to deal with my monster should his actions not prove to be in your best interests. But... you aren't dealing with him anymore. You are dealing with me. And I promise... you have no plan... for me. Because I am not controlled by my rage anymore. I am fueled by it.

—Hulk Vol 5 1

But... ...We never lose.

—Hulk Vol 5 2

I wanted to be so much more than this. I wanted to... push the boundaries. Explore the unknowable. I wanted to discover. Invent. Create. Instead... on this world and every world that has ever known the name Bruce Banner... the story is always the same. Like this alternate me-- the Banner of this world-- once said... I am become death. Again, and again, and again... the destroyer of worlds. And to think... I used to blame it on the bomb. I had hoped... hoped to find some solance in a world far away from the one I had broken. Far away from the people I had hurt. Who hurt me. Who loved me. Who feared. Who needed me. But no. There is no rest in the wild. No harbor to shelter me from the storm inside my mind. No land that I can tread upon that would not name me ruin. No world I'm not a monster.

—Hulk Vol 5 5

...Why can't the Hulk have a Hulk?

—Hulk Vol 5 6

The angrier I get the stronger I get! I'm the strongest one there is! Hulk Smash!

—Bruce Banner (Earth-616)

With Frank Sinatra retired and me on the inactive list, I'm afraid the Jet Set's had it.

—Francis Sinatra (Earth-616)

You are stupid, Talbot… for you have made the Hulk mad!

—Glenn Talbot (Earth-616)

Hulk is Hulk -- not Wendigo. Hulk doesn't even know what Wendigo is. And Hulk doesn't hurt people who don't hurt him.

—Paul Cartier (Earth-616)

Ant-Man

Wait! Before we separate, the Wasp and I have something to say! Each of us has a different power! If we combined forces, we could be almost unbeatable!

Iron Man

Work as a team? Why not? I'm for it!

Thor

There is much good we might do!
